Man, this hits hard. I get why you guarded your heart so much—I've been burned by shows too many times. But reading how Stranger Things pulled you in anyway, then pushed you to create your own huge fan story? That's powerful. You didn't just watch, you built a whole world around these characters because they mattered that much. The part about El being on the spectrum and how you connected to her really got me. She's not just "the girl with powers," she's real in a way most TV characters aren't. Sorry the finale wrecked the canon ending for Mike and El, but honestly? Your version sounds way more satisfying. Keep drawing those comics. Some of us need that hope more than the official one.

I’m not even a huge fan but this made me emotional. You sound like someone who found a safe place in Hawkins when real life was hard. Writing all those stories during the pandemic, turning pain into creativity—that’s beautiful. The way you describe El as fearless, smart, autistic-coded… yeah, she’s special. The show ending her like that feels cruel, especially after building her up for years. Your fan series is basically therapy and art at the same time. Proud of you for not letting the bad finale kill your passion.

I’ve always loved how Stranger Things mixes nostalgia with suspense - it’s crazy how a show can make you feel like a kid again while keeping you hooked. It even got me into photography, experimenting with setups inspired by scenes and moods. Along the way, I stumbled on this guide https://skylum.com/blog/what-are-the-best-photo-gallery-software about the best photo gallery software, which really helped me organize and display my shots better. Honestly, it’s made the whole process way more fun and creative.
